I Love Sheffield is a campaign to encourage local people to work together to tackle the issues that matter most in local communities.

Money raised in Sheffield stays in Sheffield

Donations will be used to support our work with community and voluntary groups in Sheffield who are best placed at tackling local issues. As these groups are mainly run by volunteers the majority of money goes on addressing local issues, rather than on wages.

The 'I Love Sheffield' campaign gives businesses and individuals the opportunity to make a real difference to the area by tackling local issues at a grassroots level. In addition to donating money we will encourage businesses and individuals to think innovatively about how they can provide assistance to communities in need.

This might include a business providing a team to assist with a community project, providing spare meeting rooms for groups or assisting a group with book keeping.

To register your interest please email us with full contact details and a member of the SYCF team will be in touch to discuss how you can show your love for your area through the 'I Love Sheffield' campaign.

We have already hit the endowment challenge targets for Sheffield, so £1 for £1 match funding is no longer available on donations. Together we have raised £1,387,153 (between September 2008 - 31st March 2011) this money will provide long term grant making to support local groups.

Because we love Sheffield, we lobbied and campaigned to secure an additional £351,392 to support local groups. Securing this additional funding would not have been possible without the support of our key partners.  

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.

Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
